@Aerodynamic I'm okay thanks

Great to hear. How's your forum doing?

Heya @Webster How are you?

Doing pretty good; catching up on podcasts at the moment.

Due to all the flight delays and cancellations, my mother and father's luggage got lost at the airport, and the airlines are still investigating a search for them.

Hopefully they weren't on Southwest or else their luggage might be forever lost.

 

[Cory]

That can take a while.. Hope they at least find it.

We can hope!

Sounds like they're doomed in that case.

It's going well and added a new theme today.

Nice! I’ll go check it out tomorrow. Or maybe you can take a screenshot and post it in our advertisement topic?

 

[Cory]

They found their luggage in two different states, now it's just a matter of getting it back to them.

Look for the screenshot at my ad thread.

At least they found it; that's half the battle right there.

 

[Cedric]

Good morning everyone.

 

[Ken]

Hey y'all, what's going on?

 

[Arantor]

My wife plugged in a half-remembered idea for one of my projects into an image AI, the result was sufficiently inspiring that we're now experimenting with it to try and produce something. The original idea was a sort of old-school vibe for exploring an ancient Egyptian pyramid (think Indiana Jones in a pyramid), and we ended up fusing it with cyberpunk neon vibes.

And my reaction was... 'want'. I want that as a book, as a video game. It feels like something that should be experienced somehow.

Indeed, hopefully, they'll get their luggage back soon enough!

 

[Ken]

How's everyone tonight?

 

[Cory]

How's everyone tonight?

Doing good. Slept half the day away so I'll probably be up most of the night. I did DoorDash for 1 hour and 23 minutes and made $20. Now I'm just doing what I do best, chilling on forums, and will probably play some Call of Duty later on.

 

[Ken]

Happy Friday everyone! What's going on?

You've sparked my interest - do share.


How is everyone? Getting ready for News Years Eve tomorrow?

So she went to Midjourney and gave it the following prompt:

a technologically advanced ancient Egyptian tomb full of cybernetic equipment, fantasy, science fiction, blue glow

She'd thought this was what I was working on because I *am* a sucker for the 80s cyberpunk vibe after all.

With nothing more than its own training data and that prompt, it generated the following:

It wasn't what I'd originally envisaged at all but... this is *such* a cool setting for a novel, a game, a film, *ANYTHING* where I can interact with that world.

We spent a fair amount of time experimenting with cyberpunk Egyptian vibes but I'm dying on the hill of 'right now I don't have a story for this amazing setting'.

Holy crap that is cool. 😍

Almost New Year's Eve here, but not quite yet. I hope everyone has a wonderful 2023!
